Reusable Desiccant Protects Cargo from Moisture, Corrosion & Odors

One of the challenging problems encountered by manufacturers, distributors and shippers of many products is the harmful results of excessive moisture, condensation and odors during transit and storage. This can cause corrosion, mold, mildew, cross contamination and numerous other problems. The latter can result in damaged goods, lost revenues and poor reputation.

The MoistureSorb® Moisture Absorbent Pouch was specially developed to solve this problem using a unique dual mechanism. Firstly, it absorbs excessive moisture from the air to lower the relative humidity thereby preventing corrosion and destroying mold and mildew. Secondly, it eliminates musty odors on contact without covering them up with fragrances and prevents cross contamination.

To use, simply place or hang the reusable MoistureSorb® pouches in areas with cargo that could be exposed to excessive moisture and odors. To rejuvenate periodically, simply heat in a microwave for 2-4 minutes or place in direct sun light for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. MoistureSorb® can work for years so it is very cost effective.

MoistureSorb® is non-toxic, safe, reusable, recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for absorbing moisture and eliminating unpleasant odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. MoistureSorb® does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of MoistureSorb® moisture control media.

Moisture Problems

One of the problems that has plagued manufacturers, distributors, consumerers, and shippers of almost any product is the harmful results of excessive moisture and condensation. This can cause corrosion, mold, mildew, odors, and numerous other problems. The latter can result in damaged goods, lost revenues, and poor reputation.

The Solution

The MoistureSorb® Moisture Absorbent Pouch was specially developed to protect products by adsorbing moisture during manufacturing, storage, and shipping by truck, railroad, and ship. MoistureSorb® is particularly effective in controlling moisture levels in low humidity ranges where other desiccants such as silica and alumina gels are less effective. This product will eliminate moisture and odors while preventing condensation, corrosion, mold, and mildew.

How MoistureSorb® Works

MoistureSorb® is very effective and efficient at adsorbing moisture and odors . MoistureSorb® is negatively charged whereas moisture and odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, MoistureSorb® draws in moisture like a strong magnet and traps it. The molecular structure of MoistureSorb® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives MoistureSorb® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables MoistureSorb® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of moisture and odors and work for months.

Environmentally Friendly

MoistureSorb® is recyclable, non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, and non-caustic . It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating moisture as well as odors without adding pollutants to the air. MoistureSorb® does not contain chemical additives and is beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.

Applications

MoistureSorb® can be used during the distribution of products by ship, truck, and railroad to protect the cargo from moisture damage. It can also be used as a desiccant during manufacturing, storage, and in any other application requiring moisture removal.

Directions

To use, simply remove the plastic cover, place MoistureSorb® pouches in the area to be treated, and notice the difference. Use one or more pouches per recommended area. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the moisture sources (e.g. spills and open containers) and clean the affected area prior to treating with MoistureSorb®. For extra effectiveness, use this product in conjunction with Smelleze® General Purpose Deodorizer Granules.

Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling

The MoistureSorb® Moisture & Odor Absorbent Pouches may be reused repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. Rejuvenate the pouches weekly until a noticeable decrease in moisture and odor is detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them every 3-4 months or when moisture and odor levels increase. To rejuvenate, simply heat the pouches in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse.

The number of times MoistureSorb® can be rejuvenated and its actual life span will depend on the moisture and odor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of air flow it is exposed to. Replace the pouches every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation eventually fails to work.

As a precaution, do not rejuvenate the MoistureSorb® pouches in a microwave if they have been exposed to a hazardous or toxic substance. It is better to be safe and to rejuvenate the pouch outdoors in direct sunlight where is plenty of ventilation.

Unused MoistureSorb® moisture and odor control media or used media that has not been exposed to hazardous substances can be recycled by removing this material from the pouch and applying to gardens, flower beds, yards, fields, potting soil and plant beds with thorough watering. It will act as a slow release fertilizer and help retain soil moisture

Disposal

The unused MoistureSorb® Moisture Absorbent Pouch is non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this may change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used MoistureSorb® should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.

How to Rejuvenate MoistureSorb® Moisture & Odor Control Products

MoistureSorb® pouches, granules and powder may be used repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. To rejuvenate, simply heat in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. When you rejuvenate the pouches in a microwave, it is better to do it in 2 minutes intervals with 900 rotations and to check the pouch to make sure it does not get singed and allow the moisture and odor control media to spill out of the pouch. The pouch could get very hot after 4 minutes in a microwave so please wear oven mittens when removing MoistureSorb® to prevent getting burned. MoistureSorb® granules and powder (without the cotton pouch) can also be rejuvenated in an oven at 425° F (220° C) for about 3-5 hours. Reuse the pouches, granules and powder after they have cooled.

Rejuvenate the MoistureSorb® pouches, granules and powder weekly until a noticeable decrease in moisture and odor is detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them when moisture levels increase or every 3-4 months. There is no set limit to the number of times MoistureSorb® can be rejuvenated and could work for years so it is very cost effective. The actual number of times MoistureSorb® can be rejuvenated and its actual life span will depend on the moisture and odor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of air flow it is exposed to. Replace MoistureSorb every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation fails to work.

Rejuvenation Precaution

As a precaution, do not rejuvenate MoistureSorb® in a microwave or oven if it has been exposed to a hazardous substance like formaldehyde or anything you suspect is toxic. It is better to be safe and to rejuvenate it outdoors in direct sunlight where there is plenty of ventilation.
